Initiative Summary on a Page

Initiative Summary is a great way to set out the initiative on a page. It is great for summarising some of the key information for larger initiatives and can be used instead of a full Definition Document for smaller initiatives. It is a simple tool that answers the what, why, who, where, how and when.

It is normally written by the person delivering the change and communicates key information. It enables people to see a quick picture of the initiative without reading a multiple page document.
